w: Christ was born on Christ- mas Day Wreathe the hol- ly, twine the bay; Chris- tus na- tus ho- di e; The Babe, The Son, the Ho- ly One of Ma- ry. He is born to set us free, He is born our Lord to be, Ex Ma- ri a Vir- gi ne, The God, the Lord, by all a- dor’d for- ev er. Let the bright red ber- ries glow, Ev’- ry where in good- ly show, Christ- us na- tus ho- di e; The Babe, the Son, the Ho- ly One of Ma- ry. Christ- ian men, re- joice and sing, ‘Tis the birth- day of a King Ex Ma- ri a Vir- gi ne; The God, the Lord, by all a- dor’d for- ev er. Night of sad- ness: Morn of glad- ness ev- er more Ev- er, ev- er: Af- ter ma- ny trou- bles sore, Morn of glad- ness ev- er more and ev- er more. Mid- night scarce- ly pass'd and o- ver, Draw- ing to this ho- ly morn, Ve- ry ear- ly, ve- ry ear- ly Christ was born. Sing out with bliss, His Name is this: Em- man u el: As was fore- told in days of old By Ga- bri el. Mid- night scarce- ly pass'd and o- ver, Draw- ing to this ho- ly morn, Ve- ry ear- ly, ve- ry ear- ly Christ was born.
